Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by ecb on Nov 24, 2008 20:10:33 GMT 1, A big nod to POW for sorting this out. They are right up there with all the other galleries I admire. Thanks POW!!
I read the POW statement and feel bad for the Friday folks though.
Where did this official POW statement come from? Did they post it here? I dont see it on their website. I have seen/read so much bad/misleading info on this forum, that I would hate to find out that it's a sham.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by talisman on Nov 24, 2008 20:14:02 GMT 1, and that is the customers fault why? Oh stop. It was known on thursday these were well sold out. there was no email announcement on Friday saying additional prints were available. those who bought friday took their chances hoping some would be released and they were released in error. I am sorry you didnt get a print on thursday but dont feel that POW should have to bend over backwards for the friday buyers.
I'm sorry but i think that's a stupid comment. The print was there to be bought on Friday, how is the customer supposed to know that it was an error? Don't tell me that if it was you in that situation you wouldn't be disappointed. I can moan all I want, everyone else has!

They could extend the offer of the next Banksy print to the Friday buyers too to be fair there could be dozens of us, not sure that would go down to well i think the only reasonable thing to do in this situation is for banksy to make a new series of hand sprayed canvases revolving around the word friday to give to each and every 21/11 refund victim

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by jamsanich on Nov 24, 2008 20:18:29 GMT 1, alot of this is going over my head but i am curious to what pow will have to say about overseas buyers on friday who paid an exchange type fee who are now out of pocket and out of prints!!
im a lover of pow not a hater but i am pondering what a body of fair trading would make of such an affair if somebody decided to kick up a real fuss. I know it happened with Faile and they cleared up with an offer but does make me think...

I can moan all I want, everyone else has! The customer now knows it was an error doesnt he? Moan all you want. For f**ks sake, I spent a few hours F5ing for trolleys and morons and didnt get one, perhaps I should get an AP then? I'm not saying you shouldnt be disappointed, I am saying that there is really no reason for you to be given special treatment when they were posted on the site in error.
FFS, you just won't have it will you! No matter what you say, if the customer has had full confirmation from POW with print number and a Protx receipt aswell - there should be no reason for the customer to suspect that's it's an error. Then to be told sorry, you can't have one is unacceptable regardless of the day you bought it!
The Friday buyers SHOULD be considered in this fiasco - end of!

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by ecb on Nov 24, 2008 20:29:34 GMT 1, Well done POW See you just got to have faith Let's hope the next Banksy is not an edition of 1000 and unsigned i bet you feel better now, well as long as you didn't buy one on Friday that is, or you tried to skank two prints from one IP address( you know who you are) I concur, considering the fit he/she had on the board he'll be lucky if he's not banned after two goes from one IP regardless of the reason. Congrats to the thursday purchasers getting their prints back!!!
I dont get you 2 guys. My 2nd order did NOT go through. There is another board member who did have 2 orders go through from the same IP. I guess you're talking about him. Wankers.

There will be other chances and you may get lucky then, not having this print on the wall is not the end of the world.
You win some you lose some and life goes on.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by alsbabar on Nov 24, 2008 20:40:55 GMT 1, 2 factors to consider before people start pillorying POW - 1. POWs system crashed on Thursday, by the sheer volume of traffic, so this could have had some consequence to problems that may have occurred Thursday resulting in Friday's erroneous release 2. No one knows if everyone who bought on friday got a refund, while I feel for those who believed to have bought, while you bought in good faith, the POW refunds werent done with any malicious intent.
I would if anyone, blame the forum guests who visited this site, just to get the heads up, who a lot i am sure either didnt get the POW email or simply arent subscribed to it.

Amazing how people go on about how great POW are considering they completely arsed it up, then did the bare minimum in regards to fixing it!
Id like to know, why did they go on sale on Friday? Is it as simple as your pet cat walking accross the keyboard and hitting the "SELL BANKSY" button by mistake? No!
They had a set amount to sell and it was dropped at a set time.
For that reason they should grace the hard working F5ing Friday buyers with the same offer as the "holier than thou" Thursday purchasers.

Anyone who reloaded and reloaded on friday had zero guarantees that any prints would drop friday at all. just because some were released in error doesnt mean you have the right to demand special treatment.
I'm sorry, if Ive been refunded for something due to lack of stock or an error, I accept the apology, and the refund and move on.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by Standard on Nov 24, 2008 20:54:02 GMT 1, Am I reading this whole fiasco correctly?
Did the POW site state that there was limited stock of this print available to buy on Friday?
If so, they had taken payment for these, albeit unknowing to what had happened. Due to unforeseen errors they have now cancelled all the Friday contracts to honour the Thursday contracts. Therefore they took payment on orders that they could not honour.
I think they should consider compensating the Friday buyers with something. Although it couldn't be helped it should be their responsibility as they technically made the error in judgement for offering surplus stock without confirming that it was 100%available. It may be a bit harsh but from a disgruntled buyers point of view they could perhaps offer a dedicated buy of the next release to help take the sting out of all of this.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by Ruggs on Nov 24, 2008 21:01:16 GMT 1, I still believe the Faile FairQ type system could be tested with another POW release, not necessarily a Banksy, but something big. They make an online application form available for a short time for you to fill in. You send it back. They (POW) select winners at random. You are then e-mailed with winning confirmation and a payment attachment. Bob is your uncle. No fuss, no bother, no recriminations etc.

Then perhaps you shouldnt do business with POW any longer if it's unacceptable. Or perhaps you should ring them and give them a piece of your mind, let me know how it goes after that.
